ONE LIVED, The OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About Is months ago she became sickly
and had cough and was confined to bed, and
1t was thought that she had consumption The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1884, a node or knot the size of
goose egg formed just above the pit of the
stomach, which, when lanced, discharged mat
ter for or 9 months. One of these also
formed under her arm, and three on he back,
which discharged matter for considerable
tine. For six months of this time she was
confined to the house, and most of the time in
bed. The stomach often refused food, by re-
jecting what she had eaten. She used q great
deal of medicine, but failed TO be cured 1
bought one bottle of your Il. b B. made in
Atlanta, Ca and gave It to her, and she CON-
menced to improve. / then bought and gave
her three bottles more, and she continued to

appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased nodes or knots disappeared, and she
went to work apparently healthy and fattened

This woman had a married sister of near the
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She had
did not take any b. B. b and the node in
her stomach ate through the cavity. She con-
tinued on the decline and wasted away, and
finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood poi

HELP THE NEEDY.

The movement made by the clergy OF
this city, yesterday, in the way OF en-
listing the charity and sympathetic be-
nevOlence OF our people In aid OF the
droulh sufferers In this and adjoining
counties OF the drouth stricken regions,
is a movement in the right direction.
The clergy Of San Antonio could show
no more oonclusIvely than by this act
that they have not forgotten the injuno-
tions OF him whom they claim as master.
Ii is sincerely to be hoped that their per
sonal representations TO his honor, the
mayor Of this city, will induce that gen.
tleman to call public meeting OF the
beneyolently inclined of this city to take
some concert of action in this matter OF
relief. Other cities in Texas, all around
us, have responded to claims made and
calls voiced by the press. In this city
there has been little or no response.
This Is not the fault Of the city journals
Again and again, has his honor, the
mayor, been reminded OF the needs OF
elsltE COuutics anu uisOt w S"'' !" P"N
lie meeting to relieve the distress which
had voiced itself in the ears Of st. Louis
and Chicago without awaking the deaf
ness OF our own. The suffering OF the
families in the drouth stricken regions
of this state, few people in San Antonio
have any true conception Of. Let pub
lie meeting be. held and the facts be set
before our citizens, by word Of mouth,
backed up by the personal appeals OF
those who feel the burden OF neigh
boris hunger and are ready to divide
with him. The LIGHT offers Its columns
to the clergy OF this city for any commu-
nications they may desire to make to
their fellow citizens on this matter, and
10 the future, as In the past, will do
what in it lies to make our people sensi-
bic of the duty of relief which they have
too long neglected.

potent for democratic good, a democratic
daily Of truly metropolitan proportions
was projected some weeks since, and
with q great flourish OF trunpets was
launched upon the waters Of Iowa jour
nalism. The editor was imported from
Council Bluffs. and was man well
known in the journalism OF the state; a
state commissioner OF emigration was
head of the financial department; CHI

according to programme, the last

SOCIAL DISTINGUISHES.

Society seems honey-cOmbed with dis
honesties. They are ingram In the char
acter and consequently come naturally
to the surface on all possible occasions.
The world Of social life and Of business
life Is as full of its sells as bee hive is
OF Its eel 8. In business this is consid-
cred semi-legitimste, and in society 1t Is
excused on the plea that appearances
must be kept up. The result Is that
neither In business nor In home life is
there that deep reverence for truth, that
willingness to appear before men and
be judged strictly upon merit, that is the
real charm OF all true womanhood, the
honor OF all real manhood. The fictitious
apprsisment of the world outside Is
much more highly priced than the real
valuation passed by our own instructed
judgment upon ourselves. SO long as
the fictitious appraisnent will be accept
ed, the average man, and the average
woman, too, seems to care little or moth
ing as TO how far that appraisment cor
responds with or varies from the inner
sense Of their own worth or worthless
ness The almost universal desire to put
ones best foot foremost overrides every
other nObler consideration Envy, that
coal which comes kissing hot from
hell" usurps the place OF a generous
Judgment, and the whole fountain of the
inner life flows bitterness instead of
sweetness and charity. There is scarce
ly an occasion in which people
come together in the peaceful
rivalries of trade, or art, or society that
this feeling Is not manifested In greater
or lesser degree. The desire TO be first
is so dominant in some minds that all
else Is sacrificed to getting there. The
jealousies that this ambition, good In it
self If not perverted, engenders lead
to all manner ofdeoeptions to secure the
desired end. II social distinctions are
sought, society becomes to these people
u tournament, in which pride and vanity
meet in silken lists, with smiling sneers
for spears and vanity for coats of mail.
If artistic supremacy is coveted, no
means are left untried to secure recOg-
milton on the part of those who esteem
public verdict of supposed merit more
than the preservation of self-respect.
There are 10 this present art exhibition
articles, entered for prizes, to which
those who entered them as their own
work have no more claim MS specimens
of their handiwOrk than II they had
been wrought in another century, by an
other race. The ladies Of the art exhibi-
ton are fully aware of this fact, and are
by no means deceived thereby. 1t is
not their intention that a hundred hon.
est exhibitors shall suffer for the dishon-
estes Of one or two, and In future ex-
hibitiOns all work presented that lie not
Just what it represents itself to be will
be refused place in their exhibit. This
is really the moral of this editorial SER

DONoT BE DISCOURAGED,

The failure, for the immediate pres
ent, Of those having the refrigeration
works under adYisement to arrive at
any results, need not be accepted as
conclusive against the final establish
ment OF such works in our city. The
present condition of the grass crop in
the great cattle regions of Texas tribu-
tary TO this market precludes all posi-
bility OF the caItlemen complying with
the co ditiOns OF De Mores' proposition,
which included the pledge OF so many
bead of stock delivered at the refriger-
sting establishment here, within certain
prescribed times. With the excessive
drouths OF this spring, following upon
the heels Of rainle's winter, pastures
dried up and water scarcely to be found
on the ranches, 1t is not TO be wondered
at that cattlemen are not coming fer.
ward TO make the pledges required H.
order to secure this dressed meat estab-
lishment in San Antonio. Let it be I'M
derstOOd distinctly that this project is

but is only temporarily held in allegiance
until some more favorable season, be il
next week, next month, or next year.
1t is not alone this refrigeration plant in
San Antonio that is waiting, hoping and
looking for the showers that are to Soft

tions, as well as the parched and hard
ened surface Of mother earth. Every
department Of business is suffering all
through Texas on account of drouth
conditions that are quite unprecedented.
The western section of this state. the
great cattle district from which the pro-
posed refrigeration supplies will be
drawn, is suffering more than any other
section, but ali are suffering. The whole
state needs rain and needs it as scarcely
ever before. With oopious showers,
business would revive as smilingly as
the face Of nature. A new impetus
would be given to trade, new lease Of
life and prosperity to our cattle indus
tries, and with tho revival of hope
would come revival OF our UBion stock
yards and our refrigeration project This

denim men for lack of business enter

NOT ALL DEMOCRATIC.

Sioux City, Iowa, Is the center Of
some considerable ATTRACTION just now,
growing out of the Haddock murder
trial. The wires have flashed this news
all over the union, and the changes
have been rung upon 1t as a whisky
murder, until 1t has been made to serve
its day and generation as prohibition
powder. All right. The murder was
deliberate and unprovoked assassination
OF q clergyman, who was doing what
within him lay to carry out the proyis-
ions Of the prohibition law In Iowa and
close the doors of all saloons In Sioux
City. For this murder let no guilty man
escape. Sioux City has had another
sensation. The republican party of
Iowa being held responsible for the pro-
hibitiOn law, the democracy have been
moving heaven and earth to wrest the
state from republican grasp, and in this,
have been largely aided by the German
republican vote Of the state. As a re-
suit, the republican majority in Iowa
has been cut down from 10000 to $4,000,
and 1t Is determined to wipe out this
l2,OOO before 1888, II money and agita-
ton can do 1t. Sioux City is the
most considerable city in west
erD Iowa, above Council Bluffs.
1t occupies a very important position
on the Missouri river, where the Illinois
Central and other roads cross into Ds-
kota. 1t is the real center of trade for a
score or so of counties in northwest
Iowa, and its influence IN Iowa politics
is very important factor. 10 properly

Extra Liability to Malarlal InfectIon.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, are extraliable to the at
tacks of malarial disease. The most trifling
exposure may, under such conditions, infect a
system which. II healthy, would resist the
miasmatic faint. The only way TO secure i'm
munity from malaria in localities where II Is
prevalent is to tone and regulate the system
by improving weakened digestion, enriching
to hillary secretion. These results are accom-
pished by nothing SO effectively as Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which long experience
has proved to be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and ague and kindred disorders,
as well as the best remedy for them. The
Bitters are moreover, an excellent invigorant
of the organs of urination, and an active acrid
ments.

REFORM THE HOODLUM.

The record made by young Montgom-
cry, a fifteen year old lad OF this CITY,
emphasizes the need OF reform school
In Texas. His career wound up yester-
day by the recorder filming him 500, and
sending him to the chain gang TO work
II out. From that gang willie" will
probably learn but little TO improve his
morals. and will return to society more
hardened than when he received his
sentence. There is evil, only evil, and
that continually 10 our method Of dis
posing ofyOuthful criminals. 1t is not
the fault Of the officers Of the law. 1t is
not the fault Of the courts. Ii is the fault
Of the state in not making provision for
the reformation of the young hoOdlums
who, having outgrown the restraints OF
home (if 1t ever exercised any, have be-
come not only grief and a nuisance to
their mothers, but menace, as in the
case of young Montgomery, TO the peace
and security of society. A beginning
has been made by our Legislature, albeit
pitlful one in its beggarly sppropria-
tion. Ii is sincerely TO be hoped that
Gov. Ross we'll known philanthropy and
good sense will find its fullest express
sion In dealing with this TefOrmatory
school. Upon his act in appointing a
superintendent for 1t, will depend all OF
Its future. Ifthat appointment is u wise
one, the reformatOry will commend
itself to the state as an institution to BE-
fostered and provided for, and Its future
will be assured. II a poor appointment
Is made and no good results follow, re-
formatory measures in Texas will be set
back q decade.

Peace hath her victories no less renowned
than war.-MILroS.l
Lesseps was the hero of the day in his
recent visit to Berlin. He had n confer
ence with Prince Bismark, lunched with
the crown prince, Frederick William,
was accorded an audience with the EN-
peror and empress OF Germany, and WAS
invited to visit st. Petersburg by the
Russian ambassador. all Of which one OF
our contributors celebrates in the fol-
lowing verses:
While France. with all her srmor on,
Was vanquished on the Rhine,
Lesseps, her son, In peace alone,
Has passed beyond her line.
And the great emperor, and empress too,
or Germany, we find
Accorded him as interview,
As tribute to his mind.
And him, the prince and Bismark, both,
And men OF science, meet.
While the great AutOcrat Of North
His presence there would greet,
And to his realms invites the man,
In Difference to his worth,
Who struck the seas, and Suez ran
For all the nations forth.
And who, by force OF power and will,
And royal hand Of labor,
In shortening time and space by skill
Made every man neighbor.
And so we see what War and Hate
Were powerless to do,
How Love and Genius won In state
A peaceful waterloo.

DEAR SIR: l saw paragraph In your

IL was stated that there was now q saw

The writer Of that article was evidently
mistaken, rs such is not the case. l

the case, for the benefit Of the public.
A fast mail train has been put on be-
tween New York city and Kansas City,
Mo-, for which the United States gov
eminent pays the railroad companies
several thousand dollars extra, yearly.
This train leaves New York city two
hours later than before, or about $50
y. N. and makes the run to Kansas City,
NO., In eight hours less time than for
merly. The trains for Texas on the
Missouri Pacific railroad, which con-
meets with this fast mail train, has been
changed and leaves st. Louis. Mo-, two
hours later, arriving In San Antonio at
the same time ss formerly. So there is
really only two hours saving in time be-
tween New York city and San Antonio,
and three hours between St. Louis, Mo-.
and San Antonio. There 10 no fast mail
train bet ween st. Louis and San Antonio.

public that the running time of trains
